ATSM, CAS Mix Up, HLS Anything Goes with Dies, HLS Mixed Media

Greetings, everybody and I hope you're having a good day. We have some lovely sunshine here.

I had a play last night with some different media and this is the result. The leaf was die-cut from black card, then four layers of thick clear embossing powder heated onto it. After that, I dabbed on a Versamark ink pad (please make sure the powder is cool and set before doing this!) and applied mica powders with a soft brush. Then before heating it all again with a heat tool, I inked up a swirly hearts stamp with gold ink and pressed it hard into the molten powder and waited until it had cooled down before lifting the stamp off. You must use a red rubber stamp and NOT a clear stamp to press into the molten powder. Phew, sorry if that was long-winded!

Also added some torn corrugated card, splats of gold paint and stamped sentiment.

Wow Sue! Your mixed media leaf is gorgeous! You put so much creativity in making it and I love the result! This has certainly given me ideas... I don't have a leaf die but this might work with a feather die I have. Thanks for inspiration!

WOW! This is AMAZING, Sue! LOVE that heart with the layers of embossing, mica powders and stamping. Gorgeous creation! And it looks perfect with the torn strip of corrugated card and splatters. Thanks again for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx

Don't apologize for being long-winded - I'm glad you were as I'm really happy to learn how you did the heart! It's gorgeous with the Mica powders and the stamp pressed into them. I have to give it a try! Beautiful card all round - love the corrugated strip and the splatter. Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up.

OMG Sue, all the texture and beauty you achieved from your die cut, many mixed media layers and stamped leaf is a true work of art! I love your splatters and strip of corrugated CS too. All this and still a CAS design. TFS and joining us at CAS Mix Up. Hugs...
